This chapter considers an application of age of information called AoCSI in which the channel states in a wireless network represent the information of interest and the goal is to maintain fresh estimates of these channel states at each node in the network. Rather than sampling some underlying time-varying process and propagating updates through a queue or graph, the AoCSI setting obtains direct updates of the channels as a by-product of wireless communication through standard physical layer channel estimation techniques. These CSI estimates are then disseminated through the network to provide global snapshots of the CSI to all of the nodes in the network. What makes the AoCSI setting unique is that disseminating some CSI updates and directly sampling/estimating other CSI occur simultaneously. Moreover, as illustrated in this chapter, there are inherent trade-offs on how much CSI should be disseminated in each transmission to minimize the average or maximum age.
